“The history of the Tampereen yliopistostrongly reflects the faith of Nordic society in the equality of people.” – Chancellor Jorma Sipilä
What is now the Tampereen yliopisto began in 1925 in Helsinki as an institution generally referred to as a Civic College. The guiding notion was that enlightenment was conducive to peaceful societal development. It was felt that large sectors of the population and especially young people in the rural areas were in need of enhanced popular education.
The main campus of the Tampereen yliopisto is close to the Tampere city centre, some ten minutes’ walk from the railway station.
